Villains are just plain terrible. Sometimes they’re trying to end the world, sometimes they’re turning woodland creatures into evil robots. But mostly all they want is to bring back swing music in the 90s, big brass bands and all. We have Cameron from The Mad Gear and joining us to sing along with these villainous hits, and think back fondly of all the bad guys who tried to destroy us.

Rising from the streets, crawling out of the slums, a force known as The Mad Gear is gaining critical mass in Turbo Citysince 2014. They are draped in leather and denim, and armed with the toughest tunes from video games past, and original compositions of their own.

Rob and Pernell travel across strange lands in search of musical adventure! Together they find magical cars, flying robots, and the fastest hedgehog alive. (which is 5 mph, btw). Joining this week for a brief interview/hang-sesh are the rockstar boys from video game music mega group Lame Genie!

Lame Genie are a band from Rhode Island playing heavy rock video game music with a touch of humor! Thanks for hanging out with us!

Later, I would come to learn that this was actually a re […]

Simple Simian Shenanigans Retro remakes are all the rage these days. And why shouldn’t they be? They provide an opportunity to bring classic games back into the limelight whilst also offering a semi-new experience for those that enjoyed their original releases. More often than not, when a retro remake gets announced, I find myself responding with either […]

A Literal Space Race Couch co-op has seen quite a rush in quality over the last few years. Titles such as Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time, Dungeon of the Endless, and Overcooked managed to set my soul on fire. Even Mario Party managed to finally find its groove again with the recently released Super Mario Party. Finding something that is, both, fun for […]

Fancy a Bit of Shadow Play, Stranger? Ever since my time at E3, I have been looking forward to the release of Shadows: Awakening by Kalypso Entertainment. Now it’s finally out, I’m able to see if it lives up to my expectations as a more story-driven take on the style of Action-RPG combat popularized by Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo series.
